If you use the call more strikes philosophy then you are going to call pitches one or two inches below the knee a strike. How about expanding the top of the zone, now lets call just below the arm pits. How about 2, no 3 inches off the plate. When does it stop?? Call the zone that is defined in the rulebook. If the game takes 3 hours, so be it. Remember, the hitter deserves the same respect as the pitcher. Just because I want to get home to my family doesn't mean I start calling pitches outside the zone strikes. Just my opinion.

Please come back and tell me when everything we've been telling you finally makes sense. It will happen at some point.
